Description
This case involves the effect of Montana's constitutional "right to know" and open meeting statutes on the selection and appointment of the Commissioner of Political Practices (Commissioner). Common Cause of Montana (Common Cause), a nonprofit organization that seeks to promote open, accessible and democratic government, challenged the appointment of Edward Argenbright (Argenbright) as Commissioner in the First Judicial District Court, Lewis and Clark County. Common Cause argued that the statutory committee whose function is to provide the governor with a list of names of possible candidates for the position had violated constitutional and statutory provisions guaranteeing the public a right to observe the deliberations of public bodies. Although we determine that the committee violated Montana's open meeting statutes, we conclude, under these unique circumstances, that the violation does not require Argenbright's removal from the office of Commissioner.
